Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Frankfort

The voucher gap is 34.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Pulling hardest the other way is economic stress at 1.1/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, supply constraint reads 8.5/10. On the softer side, tenant-organizing strength reads 2.2/10.

Food insecurity runs 6.4% against 17.8% nationally. Severe burden reaches 12%. Those are renters paying half their income or more, and that is where non-payment filings originate.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.7% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 35th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored. At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out.

Social vulnerability reads 4.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the IL average is 5.1, so this tract runs 1.4 points cooler.

Of its three components the socioeconomic standing measure is the least pressured.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
